Tooning Out The News is a political satire animated series that premiered on CBS All Access in 2020. Produced by Stephen Colbert and Chris Licht, the show offers a hilarious take on the recent political events and top news stories of the day, all through an animated lens.

The series features a talented roster of cartoon correspondents, including Mitch Lewis, Addison Anderson, and Maureen Monahan, who analyze and ridicule everything from the Trump impeachment trials to global crises and other major news events.

The show's format is very similar to traditional news programming, with various interview segments and in-depth features, but with the added twist of all the correspondents being animated. Each program starts with a cold open inspired by the day's headlines, introducing the viewer to the show's whimsical and playful style.

One standout segment on the show is called "Cartoon Trump," which features a Donald Trump animation voiced by Jeff Bergman. This segment takes aim at many of Trump's most outrageous statements and policies, transforming his rhetoric into absurd, nonsensical sound bites before relaying goofy responses from the White House press corps.

New segments are regularly added to the show, such as "Stephen Miller: Godfather of Santacon" and "Cartoon Lindsey Graham." These refresh and keep the show's humor fresh and pointed.

The show also features a diverse range of real-life guests, including political analysts and media personalities, who offer their own takes on the day's most pressing stories. They discuss the media's take on current issues, offering insights into how they anticipate things might evolve in the coming weeks and months.

The animation team on the show is famous for its attention to detail, which brings the various subjects and issues discussed on the show to life in a way that makes it hard to distinguish between reality and fiction.

Overall, Tooning Out The News is a show that offers a unique and lighthearted approach to the often-dramatic world of politics and news reporting. By using a clever and imaginative animation technique, the show is able to present complex issues in a manner that is both entertaining and insightful. For fans of political satire and animated content alike, this show is a must-see.
